Chapter 214 The old friend

The next day, Yao Yi came to the Wang family.<

Li Fei'er personally made tea for Yao Yi. Wang Ju was an official and seemed to have a bright future. Therefore, Qin also taught some rules of wealthy families at home.

Yao Yi smiled and said, "Zi'an, this is normal."

The Zhonger of Wang Ju family became a joke in the Qingzhou officialdom. Some people really think that Wang Ju has a special taste. Especially those Fanzi, their aesthetic views are slightly different from those of the Han people. Many Fanzi gradually began to worship Wang Ju. Wang Juyong's maid must be good, and he must be a beauty. So they all came to Zhong Er's house to propose marriage.

Even Zhu Huan and Li Yuanwai were ridiculous when they heard these messy news.

Seeing Wang Ju's fiancée, Yao Yi felt relieved. It turned out that Wang Ju's taste was not particularly good.

"General Yao, don't joke. I deliberately asked Lu Ping to invite you. It's one thing. Although these horses were from Manager Zhu to Weizhou and negotiated with Weizhou Fan, they were not Weizhou horses. Some came from Xihe area, some even came from Huangzhou, and all were real Tubo horses. So they may have serious earth-based problems and are more difficult to raise than the horses we had before."

The various herds and prisons in the Song Dynasty raised many war horses every year, some were caused by officials, such as greed for ink and deducting feed, some were caused by carelessness, such as not taking good care of them, and some were caused by unacceptable soil and water. There are many reasons.

When a horse arrives in the army, it does not mean that it will not die. It will also die. It can only be said that it will be better to raise it in the hands of those greedy clerks when they are in the pastoral prison.

Therefore, after Wang Ju exchanged the horses, he deliberately told the cavalry of each camp to be careful when raising them, and selected a few old feudal sons who were good at raising horses from each camp. He taught everyone how to take care of the war horses.

This care includes a lot of food, such as the combination of various feeds for horses. The horse shed should be cleaned regularly. At Wang Ju's suggestion, quicklime is laid under the ground of the horse shed, and changed every few months to keep the horse shed dry. Every day, soldiers still have to ride it and run in the horse shed, which is not good enough to be locked in the horse shed all day. Maybe the horse can be fattened, but when they arrive at the battlefield, they can't run.

Such things.

Then Wang Juhua invited two veterinarians who knew horse sex at a high price, and then picked out several clever veterinarians from the veterinarians and asked the two veterinarians to teach them how to diagnose and treat common diseases of horses.

Medical skills in this era are quite suspicious, let alone veterinarians.

But once you teach, there will be more than a dozen soldiers in the army who know a little about veterinary medicine, and some ordinary horse diseases can also be prevented and treated in time.

After these measures, the results were quite good. From last year to today's first month, only two horses died.

However, the former horses were Xixia horses, or horses from Gyeongju. There was almost no problem of being unacceptable to the local environment.

However, the horses I got this time are different, far from Gyeongju, with different altitudes, different water and soil, different climates, different forages, and even different air humidity, so there will be serious water and soil problems.

"Zi'an, don't worry, I will ask the soldiers of the Poche Army to keep them well."

It should be pretty good, I don’t know if I don’t fight. Everyone saw the role of the cavalry with their own eyes when they fought. Although the infantry performed well in the three battles, most of the enemies were killed by the two battalions of foreign cavalry.

It’s not that the infantry is not brave, but actually attacking the back, even the morale of several battalions of injunctions was motivated, but the lethality is really not good, and there is no one in mind but not the one.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of several battalions of Huachi County are really very caring about horses, and they don’t even need the commands of the superiors to wash the war horses clean every day. In winter, they deliberately wash them with warm water. It’s a pity that they haven’t taken a shower twice after one winter.

Wang Ju nodded and asked again: "What's going on over the mountain?"

The movement he said was not about the Xixia army, it was too late, but about gathering troops.

“Not yet.”

"That's best, but in autumn, after half a year of strong training, the combat effectiveness of soldiers will be further improved. The new cavalry battalion of the Poche Army can also be officially used. Some inferior armor weapons can be eliminated and replaced with new armor weapons."

"Mr. Sun is in Qingzhou, I am still very worried." Yao Yi said worriedly.

Once the Xixia formally invades, it will not be the army that was plundered last year, but will be countless armies. Even if Wang Ju and he trained these battalions of officers and soldiers into the Tang army, they will not be their opponents. Although the number of troops on the battlefield may not determine the final victory or defeat, there are many cases of battles in history where fewer wins more, but the gap between troops is to a certain extent, which is not determined by strategy and strength.

Unless all the officers and soldiers of Huachi County are powerful soldiers and generals who win every battle, and their military capabilities with Wang Ju can be comparable to Li Jing, then these thousands of people are enough.

But that is impossible.

"General Yao, don't worry. The Central Envoy just went to Yanzhou and I believe they will return to the capital in a few days. They came down to check if I had any private soldiers."

" Raise private soldiers?" Yao Yi was surprised.

"As a sing minister, doesn't he just like to talk nonsense? It's okay, the government will not take it seriously."

"Who said this?"

"General Yao, don't ask. No matter who said it, you can't afford to be guilty, and I can't afford to be guilty. Also, don't spread it, so as not to make morale depressed."

"I can't really tell."

"Yes, but I'm not the main thing. The main thing is to check whether Mr. Sun is greedy or not."

"No wonder..."

"You understand if I say this?"

"Who is the court planning to transfer to?"

"I don't know much about this. Besides, even if Sun Gong is transferred, it will take some time for the new magistrate to take office."

"Even if the new magistrate takes office, I am still worried that even if he is like Sun Gong in front of me, although he is not greedy and violent, he is still weak."

"No, I have already reflected the crisis in Gyeongzhou. The court may believe it, but maybe not, but just in case, they will definitely choose a minister to come to Gyeongzhou. They are not afraid of being willing, but they are afraid of not being willing. If they are willing, our court is so big, and it is still OK to find a few ministers."

Yao Yi obviously didn't know the inside story of the court, so she thought for a while: "That's true."

As long as the new magistrates dare to fight, maybe the road is repaired, Yanzhou can also send some reinforcements. Then Xixia will send a large army to invade. There will be no need for the officers and soldiers of Huachi County to share the pressure. At that time, we can find the chance of victory. And then victory is the real victory.

He thought about it and asked again: "What if the Western Xia and the West are not invaded after autumn?"

If that were the case, Wang Juke would be embarrassed, and it might make many people ridicule Wang Ju and his plants and trees all over the country.

"The possibility is extremely small. If that is true, I would love it. General Yao, do you think I want to fight? Even though I won all three battles last year, many good men died. Some soldiers were still very familiar with them, but they fell one by one." Wang Ji said with a stern voice: "Maybe the truth is spread, and some people will ridicule me, but so what if that is the case! I told you last year that for the sake of the Song Dynasty and the 100 million people, I am willing to go to hell. Besides, the small ridicule."

It was impossible at this time. In history, Li Liangzuo's invasion in the autumn of this year was not the sudden intention of Li Liangzuo.

It proved that the harvest of Xixia this year was good. The economy and people's livelihood were very good in all aspects. The internal stability was relatively stable and the foundation was to mobilize a large army.

Unless you can kill tens of thousands of soldiers in Xixia last year.

What harm can only cause to a big country if only a few thousand soldiers?

On the contrary, Li Liangzuo sent troops even more, perhaps even more troops than in history.

"Zi'an, I'll join you in." Yao Yi said excitedly.

…………

The first month of Gyeongju is still very cold, but it will not be as windy and snowy as in the deep winter. The ground is melting in the sun.

Therefore, Wang Ju transferred the prisoners of war from the coal pit and stopped digging coal. It was not that the coal from the coal pit was dug up all. Why did Wang Ju ask Zhu Qing to buy that coal pit? It was the coal pit that had abundant coal storage.

However, Huanqing Road uses very little coal, and the coal pit is a bit remote from both cities, and the road is rugged, and ice and snow are coming again, so the sales volume is less than 1,000 stones a day. It seems that there are a lot, so you have to use more than 100 large cars to pull it.

But is there more?

A heavy truck can be overloaded with more than 100 tons and more than 2,000 stones. The sales volume in two days is less than a heavy truck and a car.

So if you don’t dig, even if you dig it out now, you will have to sell it for several months and you will also have to send someone to manage it.

Thousands of laborers divided into two groups, one by one, and the civilians pulled coal to the courtyard and workshop, and continued to build roads along the way, mainly building roads.

Wang Ju and Ge Shaohua made it clear that Huafu Road is more important in terms of importance, but if it is not useful, it is not important. It can only be said that with this Tao, it would be better than without this Tao. It is also a road that can communicate with the outside world, and it plays a more or less role in business and people's livelihood. What if it is useful?

But my main energy is to focus on the road from Fengchuan Town to Fuzhou.

The busyness begins again.

The Lantern Festival is here too.

The eldest son of Quan Er said in a twisted voice: "Dalang, my family wants to go to Qingzhou to watch the lanterns."

The young wife he married last year was a good one. She was a very dedicated daughter from a fourth-class family in my hometown. After getting married, the couple returned to Huachi County. Moreover, the young lady was very diligent, so Wang Ju took out another big red envelope.

However, because of his strict tutoring, he rarely went out and had never even been to the county town. When Ye Long Mee Sheng was bragging, she became interested.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if Quan Er’s eldest son. No matter how busy the Qingzhou Lantern Festival is, is there any more fun in the capital? But the newlyweds and his wife begged, what should I do? Quan Er’s eldest son had to ask Wang Ju to make this request.

Wang Ju laughed and said, "What's wrong with this? Go, you go to Qingzhou to see the Lantern Festival."

"How can that be?"

"In Huachi Town, I still need your protection?" Wang Ju asked. Wang Ju is not Wang Ju who came to Huachi County last year. That person dared to be unfavorable to Wang Ju and wanted to die. Maybe if he didn't take action before, he would be beaten up by a group of fans.

In fact, Huachi Town is also lively this year. From the beginning of the first lunar month, Wang Ju organized everyone to sing, and before the beginning of the Spring Festival, he exchanged two hundred cows from Xixia. The price was a bit expensive, and the cost price per cow reached more than seven cents. If it was based on the profits of the previous private merchants, it would have to be sold at least ten cents.

But this is the normal price of bulls.

The price of cattle in the Song Dynasty was an unreasonable market price controlled by the court. There was a mule and donkey worth more than ten stakes, and a cow only had five stakes. When it comes to transportation, the cows and donkeys were more expensive. When it comes to transportation, wouldn’t the ox cart be more comfortable than riding a donkey? When it comes to its own price, how much meat can the cows take, and there are cow leather and cow tendons. But how much meat can a donkey slaughter?

These cattle were bought for the Fanzi, but for the Han people to cultivate land.

First, reward filial sons, second, reward brave warriors, and third, reward local charity households.

There are four, but this four is a bit strange, which is to reward some Han families who have been married to the Federation of Foreign and Han dynasties.

This is Wang Ju's national countermeasures. First, it is to integrate and sinicize, including the current large-scale songs, and second, it is to try its best to disperse the huge tribes as much as possible to prevent them from gathering into larger tribes.

Li Sangou once asked a question, and Wang Ju only asked a few questions. Do you know what kind of virtue has the Murong tribe in Huanzhou become? Can they really fight against the court? Is the name of tribe important, or is it important for countless descendants to live a better life? Your Xiang people were the Xianbei people before, and the Xianbei people took the initiative to merge with the Han people. It seems that the Xianbei people disappeared, but do you know how many Han people in the north are now flowing with the Xianbei people's blood? I'm afraid I have a part of the Xianbei people's blood. Also, how many Xianbei people's blood are in Li Shimin, tell you, three quarters!

Li Sangou was stunned on the spot and then yelled wildly! He was happy.

Li Sangou said this to the Fanzis of all races again, and Fanzi was also excited. That was Emperor Taizong of Tang, the emperor of the ages! Is this true? If someone told Li Shimin that you had the blood of Xianbei people, Li Shi would not be angry. If someone told Li Shimin that you had the same roots and veins as Dangxiang people, Li Shimin would definitely have to remove all the front teeth of this person. But Wang Ju's intentions were achieved, so why should he be so clear? As early as six or seven hundred years ago, the Fanhan was a family, so why couldn't they get along well?

However, Huachi County has limited financial resources. When the Lantern Festival comes, many families have also started to set up lights, but the official cannot get the money to host a lively Lantern Festival. So Wang Ju asked everyone to go to Qingzhou together.

Of course, he still has to stay. After all, he is a parent official in a county and cannot leave his "children" behind and watch the fun.

The Wang family went to Qingzhou, and there were many people. Gui Niangbu and his wife were also buried, plus two children, Zhu Jun and his wife, Ye Long Meesheng and his wife were also raised, and Wang Zhi and his brothers were also raised, and Li Fei'er, Ge Shaohua, Zhong'er, Wang Xiaomazi, Lu Ping, and Zhao Zhuang.

It turned out that Li Sangou's wife was still there at home, but she followed Li Sangou to Xihua Fort.

So Wang Ju was left in the Wang family.

However, he was not at home, but in the county government, he set up several tables of banquets to entertain the main officials of Huachi County, as well as the elderly in various townships, and prestigious chiefs of all ethnic groups.

Let's have fun together.

Ge Shaohua brought everyone to Qingzhou City. Although Qingzhou City was not as good as the capital this day, it was also very lively and crowded. Ge Shaohua said: "Lu Ping, Quan Er's eldest son, Mee Sheng, please be optimistic about everyone. Nothing can happen or squeeze everyone apart."

"Don't worry."

The sky was getting darker and the lights were blooming. Lu Ping and Quan Er's eldest son, Ye Long Mee Sheng, protected everyone to watch the lights.

At this moment, Zhu Jun suddenly heard a nice woman's voice saying, "I can guess this riddle."

What a familiar voice, Zhu Jun looked back and saw a girl.

Looking back, the man had a dim light... (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
